Esurance Complaint - Rate increase !!! - Auto Insurance

Auto Insurance - Complaint
Review by rperry01 on 2006-07-16
DAYTON, OHIO -- I received a nice low quote, purchased a 6 month policy (paid in full). and in 10 days received an email of a $239.00 increase in which was told It will be auto deducted from the card on file.
They said some info on the application was a little different then my prior insurance???? I asked to explain, and was told they were not sure? huh ???

They play dirty pool (so to speak).

Sounds like maybe they discovered something that you did not tell them about? Is your driving record less than perfect? Insurance companies will do that. If they discover an undisclosed violation, they will increase the rates, or sometimes cancel the policy altogether.

It's called material misrepresentation. Any violations or accidents usually within the last 36-39 months, may come up on reports run by the insurance company, and if you did not disclose all, an increase or a cancellation, as Miantani stated above, can ensue. In some states, insurance companies also use credit reports for possible rate increases or cancellations on new business.
